A kind of Princess Leia fanart :)

something about leia organa that is still revolutionary in 2025 is that her capability as a leader is never mocked, diminished, or somehow otherwise belittled because of her gender. the narrative and every character around her takes her role as a leader of the alliance completely seriously. no one has to make a qualifier that “she’s a strong leader But….” whereas many stories (including star wars stories!) feel the need to contextualize women leaders as “women in a man’s world” who have to constantly navigate patriarchy, rather than leaders who deal with complex problems and who make decisions that affect those around them. no one ever discounts leia because of her gender. she explodes onto the screen as a capable leader and no one questions it

How did Obi-Wan age so much between episodes III and IV, you ask? Well you wouldn’t fare any better if you had a hand in raising three Skywalkers (plus Ahsoka) and then retiring to Space Nevada.

Prints available here!

Love how the entire Galaxy sees Darth Vader as super scary and menacing, but the second he starts interacting with Leia he starts acting like a father catching his daughter misbehaving and lying about it; and the best part is that this was just a coincidence, in both, in universe and in real life. It feels like fate, born to be father and daughter without even knowing it from the very first scene

Leia is serious about her cuddles!

Sitting here crying over Oola (the green Twi’Lek who got thrown down the Rancor pit) because she was tricked, exploited, and murdered for standing up for herself after having her hopes and dreams weaponized against her.

Also crying because Leia takes the exact items used to demean her - an outfit made to objectify and exploit her, just like Oola was - and she uses it to kill her captor and by extension, Oola’s murderer.

Leia doesn’t necessarily know it, but she inadvertently brought justice to all the women Jabba had abused and murdered, and from Jabba’s perspective, the very thing he objectified, exploited, degraded, treated as disposable, underestimated, and dismissed ended up being what was used to kill him, both symbolically and literally.

We love to see it.
